Alien Spacecraft



A strange feminine figure stood in front of the viewing screen, decked out it what appeared to be a light blue flight suit with silver plates on its chest, shoulders, and shins. Its eyes were slanted at a 45 degree angle and its irises were the color of blood. Her features were sharp and the body was thin and long by human standards, her height reaching a good 6'5". Her hair was feathery like a moth's antennae and the long 'stalks' reached down to her waist, which moved despite there being no air flow on the command deck.

"So this is the so called unconquerable planet. Such a delightful blue gem, if I am able to capture it for the patriarch I am sure I will generously rewarded and he will look at me with those strong eyes of his..."

The alien shivered in delight for a moment, before giving a small cough to gain hold of herself.

"Thankfully we have been preparing our forces for a long time despite the barrier it will only be a matter of time before we can crush any resistance!"


She put a hand out and made the motion of grabbing the visual of the planet in front of her, her fist clenched with great strength. There were two main reasons the planet was such a hard location to conquer: One, there were a lot of strange individuals with unique powers on that planet, ranging from the mundane to the fantastical who could put up a proper fight. Two, there was an annoying dimensional barrier around the planet that was specifically designed to keep out alien forces, while not affecting the inhabitants in the least. Because of the barrier they would have to expend a great deal of power every time they sent something down, which limited the amount that could be sent.

As the barrier prevented any large invasion forces, that meant they would have to send down quality instead of quantity. To help facilitate her plans to capture the Earth and shut down the field protecting it, the alien had gone into the business of Monsternacy, a scientific and magical fusion technique to create powerful, and often very unique, fighting machines. Aside from that she had also placed a bounty on the barrier maker to try and entice some of the galaxy's most fearsome mercenaries. She could get the best of all worlds with her schemes.

Soon it would be time to start the conquest of the Earth. Buzzing a little tune she skipped along off the command deck to head down to the Monsternacy department to see what dastardly monster she would send down first.



Rules


1. Joining is very easy, no set character sheet required.

2. When joining, give a rough estimate of how long you plan to stick around with your character. Could be for just one monster or several.

3. While joining is easy, I do expect at least casual level of role playing, meaning written paragraphs, grammar, spelling, etc.

4. While in the roleplay, I expect at the very least once a week posts, hopefully more.

5. A character will be considered inactive and may be killed off 10 days after the last post.

6. Each time a character joins, put that character in the character tab. All I actually need is the character's name and how long you plan to use that character. Anything else is up to you.

7. Try not to make your character too powerful, I don't want a bunch of Supermen and Goku's flying around beating everything in sight. That said, be free to make some very interesting creations.

8. Posting order is as follows. Monster > Players > Monster. That said I will sometimes go forward with a monster turn before everyone else has posted to keep things running.

9. After the battle has gone on for a bit, I'll open up a 'dramatic battle mode' in this mode you are able to control the monster as well so you can create more dramatic battle scenes, but of course you can't destroy the monster until I give the go ahead.

Setting


This will be kind of like those old monster of the week shows where kids were dazzled with stock footage and crazy costumes. The monsters will arrive usually one at a time, hop in and try to take em down. Come in when you want to and leave after any monster-of-the-week has been taken down.

Earth is pretty typical modern day setting, except with super humans and the like doing their merry business. Magical barrier McGuffin-kun must be protected or the barrier will fall and the monsters will have their hay day on Earth. Don't stay away too long or the Earth is doomed!

Cool, I think I'll wait to see what kind of monster we will fight before I make a character. I might change my character with each monster rather than using the same one every time if that's okay.

I doubt it will actually be weekly, this is a role play forum after all and the monsters won't go down easily. As for in-game, probably a Tuesday.

That's how this is set up, just remember to say once you post a character how many monsters they will be staying for.

I have a character in mind that I plan to use for at least three or four monsters but I'll wait for the monster post to see if it needs some tweaking.

I hope I am not interrupting, but I think I want to throw Yuri into this mix. He's a Magi whose arcane energy takes the form of butterflies. I figure he could help protect the Earth from weekly destruction and help the team as a whole.

OP I have a question - what is the posting order like? I assume the monsters will be controlled by you, so shall we each make one move per person then wait for you to have the monster react?

In general yes, that said I will not always wait for everyone to post in order to keep the combat going. There will also be opportunities where I open up the posting to 'dramatic mode' where you can essentially make your own fight scene with the monster. Usually after you have seen what the monster acts like and the kind of moves and abilities they use.

I'll add this to the rules.

@Searat So at minimum, character name and about how many monsters you think they'll be around in character tab, just so I can keep track of what characters are currently involved.

Federal Department of Normality...nice. :)

Intercepting the monster is the name of the game. Already intercepted by a giant walking toaster after all.

@WindsOfFate Hey there, would it be alright if I got my guy inside that cube of yours through a manhole in the ground?
